Candy tuft

My free packet of Candy tuft has been my reliable filler for years. Cheerful little mounds of , well only  purple  now.   
They seem perfectly at home in my dry soil .



 

Filling in any available space , but in a not trying to over take the garden.

Next year I might even buy a packet , so I get all the different colors again.
